Photos: A trip down memory lane with 12 retro Mansfield and Ashfield factory photos

Manufacturing has always been a significant part of Mansfield and Ashfield’s heritage. We are taking a trip back in time with this retro gallery of factory memories...

From Mansfield’s Metal Box to Kirkby’s Meridian, to Synseal – the area has had a huge number of factories employing thousands of workers over the years. Factories played a big part in our industrial past.

Did you work at one of these factories?
